No it does not, though would like it to.
isn’t it a question of where we are looking at the earth ? If we’re standing on the earth our perception is the earth is obviously flat
if we are floating in space looking at earth from a distance , our perspective is it’s obviously a perfect sphere spinning and rotating around the sun
perception is reality
the perception of the old standing on earth it’s flat it’s flat , nothing more to see here the end
“Now therefore
why should we die? for this great fire will consume us:
if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.”
Deuteronomy 5:25 KJV
the perception of the new hovering high above the fallen world with a better hope ahead the full view of a sphere having better perspective and a distant view as Gods capacity to create grows like the universe
“
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24
the old perception the earth is flat
“that
ye put off concerning the former conversation
the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
( the gospel perception looking from heaven down on the earth seeing the world for the truth of what it is from Gods perspective )
and
be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
Ephesians 4:22-24 KJV
two perspectives which change what we perceive is the earth flat or round ? Depends on the vantage point we choose
“If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
is God saying this to us ? Is the earth to really flat like the earth sees ?
“And the LORD said unto
Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes, and
be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
And thou shalt
set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death: there shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.”
Exodus 19:10-13 KJV
or this ? Is the earth really a sphere and part of a greater universe created by God who spoke from heaven ?
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:27-30 KJV
Should we do this ?
“Now therefore
why should we die? for this great fire will consume us:
if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.”
Deuteronomy 5:25 KJV
or this ?
“Then
drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
And
the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.”
Luke 15:1-2 KJV
perspective is everything is the fruit really going to kill us ? Or will it actually not harm us and make us wise and worldly ?
